I guess that it is in Cheshire!
No, not that road - the road that Guy posts once his guess has been confirmed. (If he is wrong, then he has found the most amazing clone of SoV's road!)

I think it's the wrong NTR, it does look similar. It could be close to the actual location, that's why I didn't post the photo on Thurs.

Stick a link up so we can take a closer look?

It's not wrong; or at least I don't think it is. Put a link up and I'll confirm it. Links are pretty much de rigueur so that anyone who's looking can see where the road was.I'll wait until @Sea of vapours confirms it's wrong.
It really is quite tricky to match due to the wide angle of the Streetview camera. I had the advantage of my original photo having embedded gps coordinates, and even then I was thinking "Is that quite right".

Here's my geolocation , from the photo, transposed to Streetview.

That stretch of road is indeed on the Hebridean Way, both the walking route, which my partner was doing, and the cycling route. In the right weather, it's a really fine, easy, three day cycle ride. I'm not at all convinced that it's a good twelve days or so walking in any conditions, though she enjoyed it :-)

Yes, it looks like the same location, but it looks very different on Google Streetview, that's why I didn't post the photo on Thurs, because I thought I was close, but couldn't match the NTR exactly. I didn't want all my hard work wasted.

This should be very easy for people who know the area.

absolute wild guess... Ye Olde Pack Horse Road, somewhere in the Peak District, possibly west of Buxton?

The trees on the LH bank are very different on Guy's photo
edit... @roubaixtuesday ...you're right, your dropped pin is a hundred yards or so short of the actual spot

Well done, over to you.
It's a nice ride to Wildboarclough from Warrington via Gawsworth. A few steeper inclines, but not too many, thankfully, on this longer ride.
Here's my ride route:

Edit: Looking at my recent ride routes on cycle.travel would have made finding the NTR very easy.

I actually recognised it immediately - one of my favourite roads.
